统治阶层 The Ruling Class This is a painting of a Noble Man during the Tang Dynasty
(seventh century) in China. Patrick, “I visited China and did a series of
works their. They believe the present and the past must work together and
China’s past was a class system. I want
western people to understand the disparities are not always in our favor. The
Chinese are much better at many things than we are and would probably be the
number one country in the world if not for it’s being closed off to the world
for so long. Generally, western people are extroverts and the Asians are
introverts. The Chinese tend to think before doing and Americans do before
thinking, like President George Bush. Don’t misunderstand me. I believe we
are at the cutting edge of everything new, due to our western individualism.
We have a few people who are brilliant due to the freedoms we enjoy in this
country. If someone lacks in one area they can compensate in another, like
improving their minds. But I know we can learn from the Asians. A couple of
things are self-discipline and respect for parents.” Respect is
expected and can be seen in this man’s strength of character. The magical
quality of Ancient China is also present with the vivid array of color and
greatly varied intensity of light, shade and shadow. The work is in the Post Impressionist style with a slant to the
Japanese style of composition. |
